[Edu-sig] Function Question -- I'm confused...

[WHITSTON@ltu.edu]

To all:

Over the weekend I was reading a Python textbook and in the chapter on
functions it mentioned that Python functions could have embedded functions
like Pascal.  Since other textbooks don't mention this "feature", I'm
wondering whether it is true or not (or was/is part of a particular version).

Thank you for your help -- you could reply to me privately unless other
newbies are interested in this.
